Stockholm Resource Pack - Frantic Assembly

Tasks:
The post it notes
The performers were instructed to write 10 post it notes to
their partner. These could range from the mundane to the
earth shatteringly important but had to be the kind of thing
you would commit to a post it note and leave for your partner
to find.

What would they have written At what stage in their
relationship were these notes written What would have
prompted them
One performer then leaves them for the other to find
around the set. They then leave and the other performer
enters the empty set. When this performer finds them they
must respond appropriately for the next 10 seconds.
This is not a great big theatrical response. Just a moment
of thought.
When they have found all the notes they then leave their
written notes for the other performer to find and we repeat
the process.
This is all about the effect the other has on them when
they are not even there. It is about memory and intimate
personal history. (Look (if you are old enough) at the effect
of the editing in the sex and post sex scene in Don't Look
Now by Nic Roeg.)
